np. Dir en grey – DOZING GREEN

Finally I’ve made it here. I’m going to dash the show now, so people who disagree;
a) feel free to do so but remember to back up your opinions
b) remember that this is my blog

Okay. Where to start?
- This show has no plot
Well, it’s simple. It really doesn’t. It’s just some random happenings thrown together. In fact, every episode follows the same “script” if I could call the pattern that. As I’ve posted on a few forums alread, this is how every ep. goes:
___________
- “we’re so rich and we have so many fans”
- “oh we’re so bored, wish something’d happen”
- “if you do something weird, you’ll all be expelled” (said by the head teacher/principal)
- akanishi + bike
- yoko + martial arts
- bad “fighting” trickshooting
- after the adventure: “oh it felt good to something good”
- rijichou comes and saves “the little ones” > gardening
___________
and THAT is it seriously.
When you include that the lead role is acted very poorly and that when the show is supposed to be comedy, it doesn’t succeed. If they wanted to make it work, they should have either done it delicately (…yeah.. forget it ;p) or then gone overboard (for example My Boss, My Hero), not left it halfway done.
Because this is simply a.w.k.w.a.r.d to watch.

Of course, it’s not _completely_ a pain to watch (why would I otherwise watch it? I’d drop it like I did to 花ざかりの君たちへ in that case).
Who then succeeds? Surprisingly, Junno does. He is Bidou. And I don’t think that the non-swedish people even understand every antic he does. But I find it so hilarious, I love when people mock us with the prejudices.
Yoko also does his character well. Seishirou is supposed to be like that. So he’s done his homework.
I give a huge plus for Shugo’s visit (again) in the 3rd episode.

After seeing the pilot (which btw got ratings over 15. Goddamn it) I said that this drama’s ratings will drop. People doubted me in some forums (…I think some were even convinced this could reach overall 20.. *bursts laughing*), but I’ve been right.
I really hope the ratings keep going down to something 10, because this so doesn’t deserve more, if even that.
Click here for some capping. Spoiler for ep.03

Okay, I have some Shounen Club -posts to write, it seems. Ja ne.
